Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has urged his former side to go all-out in the transfer market this summer with moves for two exceptional wingers.

The Red Devils have found form under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer but could still splash the cash this summer in order to propel themselves out of a top-four fight next season and establish themselves as title contenders.

United have already been linked with a host of names ahead of the summer transfer window, with suggestions indicating the club are expressing an interest in Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale and Borussia Dortmund sensation Jadon Sancho.

The pair, previously of Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City respectively, have encountered vastly different seasons this term as Bale has struggled to establish himself as the leading man in the Spanish capital after Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure, while Sancho has excelled in the Bundesliga.

“Sancho has huge potential, he can be anything he wants to be. And Gareth Bale, if you’re talking about having great moments in current football, big goals on big occasions, he’s up there in that sense.

“If I was someone at Real Madrid I’d think about the trophies we’ve won while he’s been there and I’d be delighted. If I was someone looking for a player right now and he’s available, I’d take Gareth Bale if the price is right. But it’s down to Gareth isn’t it.

“If he’s got a desire to leave now, he’s a bit disgruntled, the fans aren’t having him as much as he thought and he wants to get out of there, a deal can be made somewhere else, I’m sure.”
